CNG Prices increasing day by day
Pakistan has the largest market for CNG as well as is also
the second largest user in the world after Iran. In the beginning the
government encouraged the people both in public and private to use the CNG for
their vehicles and save the environment from carbon dioxide but as the users
has increased more than the economy has the resources to fulfill the demand,
the government is now discouraging the people to use CNG and applying policies
to do such thing. Also the owners of CNG stations all over the country are
making the scenario worse by shutting down the stations as well as having low
pressure gas available at limited opened stations.
When the prices were rising for CNG, the CNG stations owners
were allowing to do so as they were stocking up the gas inventory at lower
price and selling at the price which were increasing. But as the government
intervened in the pricing policy for CNG and set the price at its actual price
which become lower than the market value at which the CNG stations were
selling, the same CNG stations owners got furious at such announcement and
begin to shut down the stations regardless of knowing that the three-fourth of
the vehicles of the country run on CNG. Such behavior show that they are
concerned only about their own self and it does not matter to them that the
almost whole economy of Pakistan is running on CNG.
As day and day is passing, situation is getting worse for
people as they have to wait for the CNG outside limited opened stations having
long line and wasting long hours which could be use in more economical way and
lot of things could be done during those time which get wasted in such long
lines.
